So shame England didn't win the bid. I would've loved to watch games in good ol' MK. For those who don't know:
2018 Bid - England, Netherland, Spain/Portugal, and Russia who won it 2022 Bid - S.Korea, Australia, Japan, USA, and Qatar who won it. To be honest, I thought Spain/Portugal would take it, largely because they're World/Euro champs, and they can hold more fans with their stadiums than anyone else. Seems like FIFA went for the 'develop a country'* theme again, hence Russia. Russia don't have the infrastructure yet, but it will be interesting to see what they come up with. Qatar won it, becuase USA had it in '94, Japan/S.Korea 2002, and Australia is just too far away for a world cup. Crud footy team, but I'm sure they'll splash out in a bigger style than Russia will. *which is always a great thing and why not? Last edited by thulfi; 02-12-10 at 03:55 PM. |

We never stood a chance... because other countries love to see England/UK fail... partly because England/UK are so convinced they are going to win.
For me, I could not care less, it would have cost considerably more than it would have brought and would have ended badly with lots of failed projects... as THATS what England/UK are good at.

I'm glad we didn't get it for a purely selfish reason.
Not having to deal with the matches and aftermath on a professional level. I dislike football and nearly everything assosiated with it. It's not a sport any more. Pete ![]() |

Welll everyone would have been so peed off if it did come here, not being able to get very far playing and all!
Besides, its unnecessary expense that the country can't afford to pay for, after all we have to cut back everything apart from 'happiness' surveys ![]() Did I mention I can't stand football, loada rubbish!
